Don't let your response to the sins of others in turn mar God's name.

Our primary purpose is to bring glory to God. We long to have our response to sin protect His name.

The moon's speed varies.

The majority of perpetrators (in abuse) see themselves as the greater victim.

My mother was the dominant, abusive one growing up... Not my father. They went to 'couple' counseling. My dad said the pastor always took her part. That she always turned what he said, and the pastor assumed it was all his fault, not hers.

But, looking at it as a child, and now... It was mostly- if not all -her fault.

Anger can be addictive.

'Survivors often feel unsafe in their own bodies. They also view their bodies as the enemy. If it weren't for their bodies, they would not have been abused.'

Always tense. Unable to remember how to be relaxed.

Unable to relax. Always tense.

'War is a blessing for humanity. Since it offers the only means to measure the strengths of one nation to another. And to grant the victory to the fittest. War is the highest and most majestic form of the struggle for existence.'

'Sometimes school can make even interesting things seem boring.'

I've wondered about England's side to the American Revolution for a long time. It's good to know. I'm glad he's going into it, and being so thorough.

"A man has to be very careful, not only of his fists, but of his words."

Disgusting. Such pride! Mr. Bert needs a lesson.

"Forward!
Resound the fanfares brightly
Forward! Forward!
Youth knows no danger!
We're marching for Hitler through night without dread
With the flag of Youth, for freedom and bread
Our flags lead us on
Our flag is the new age
Yes, the flag means more to us than death!
Youth!
We are the future soldiers!
Yes, we'll drop anyone with our fists
Who tries to stand against us
Führer, we belong to you"

-Hitler Youth Song

"Weakness must be stamped out. The world will shrink in terror from the youngsters who grow up in my fortresses. A violent, masterful, dauntless and cruel younger generation- that is my goal. There must be nothing weak and soft about them. Their eyes must glow once more with the freedom and splendor of the beast of prey."
-Hitler

"Our youth must be tough as leather, hard as Krupp steel, fleet as greyhounds,"
"My system of education is a harsh one,"
-Hitler

'Heaven is a place for the repentant, and all are welcome.
But God limits His exposure to evil, unrepentant people, as should we. Scripture is full of admonition to separate ourselves from people who act in destructive ways (Mat. 18:15-17, 1Cor. 5:9-13). We are not being unloving. Separating ourselves protects love, because we are taking a stand against things that destroy love.'
